I just wonder why do we have to go out of our way to learn a second language to cater to illegal immigrants? I have to learn Spanish just so that I can remain competitive in my career field. I know ...

Ever so often I get just amazed by brazenness of Latinos/Hispanics, who so often in their comments on this category, state that American English speakers should learn Spanish, so we could communicate ...

For my GCSE English coursework i have to write a story on immigration. This story has to be a dramatic , awful and touching story of how someone/family gets from one country to another , why and how ...

...Why do people, who would never ever consider doing this themselves, tolerate others who do it so blatantly?? And I am not talking about anywhere in America, in America that is the way it has been ...

Whites use almost TWICE as much as hispanics do and so do african americans. . .

I guess it's just another myth they just can't let go of. . .

There is different form of hard working and Hispanics at least fill the bill for some of the definition. As for a reputaition of being lazy, it probably came from how they work in Mexico. Hot countries tend to work at a more leisurely pace than temperate nations. I ask a Filipino about how they can work in such heat, and he told me they tend to work more at night. Due to lack of electricity, I would suspect tehy are less productive at night. THis is an outdated belief, because It probably started before farm machines was available and Americans were still required to do a lof of back breaking work.

It's a very old and outdated misconception that started with misinterpreting the siesta as laziness (rather than common sense: why work through the hottest part of the day, take a nap and work through the evening instead).

The women stay at home and have many babies while the men work their 10 dollar an hour jobs. They live 20 people per house, why do they need to get welfare. And a million others are illegal and do not have the resources to get a fake ID in order to receive welfare. Lets also not forget how they are getting free Medical which is no even included in the Welfare statistics.

First of all since most illegals are using fake id's and such to get the benefits then nobody can give an accurate number as to how many are on welfare. Also how dare you say they are the hardest working. Asian people are the hardest working period and there is no fighting over that one. They are welcomed here as long as they are legal. So too are legal Mexicans, Cubans, African, and any other one. Illegal is just that and I don't see the fight over it. If someone comes to your house breaks a window and decides that they like it and want to live there and it is much better than the house they lived in before they should be able to stay because it would be too much of a bother to get them out. Please no one would do that but we are expected to do that with the illegals that are here.

It is just a myth. Just look around and you can see for yourself who do the harder jobs.
People talk without getting straight facts, in order for people to get benefits they need to have their papers in place. There is no way you can get welfare without been legal. They ask for ss card, birth certificate, naturalization certificate, green card etc etc .

I don't think Hispanics are lazy, I think illegals drain the system, as they don't pay taxes, they work for dirt dirt cheap wages, which whites and blacks (legals) can't compete with, because we want stupid stuff, you know, like workers compensation, benefits, all the stuff that corporate America doesn't want to provide, so it is easier to pay some illegal under the table, and guess who pays for that? I do. So, no, Hispanics aren't lazy, but, they are stealing from an unstable economy - of course I am referring to illegals here, whether they be Hispanics, Albanians, Serbs, Scandics, whatever the hell, if you are illegal, I don't like you, and I don't appreciate having to pay taxes for you, period.

I think that every race has its good and bad so sterotyping races is not right, just look in to your family and you'll find all kind of different people such as lazy, gay, selfish, smart go getter, drunk and so on so lets not concentrade on race because we all are humans. Just think about it and worry about your actions and what changes you could make to lead by example.

I have found research that Whites use welfare more than any other group, from credible sites (from my university library and a TEXTBOOK I read for a psych class), but the people on this site don't believe credible research, just propaganda sites!

Of course there are lazy people that belong to different ethnic groups, but there is no group that has all lazy members! Insane!
